While the reviews were far from amazing, there’s no doubt that the fifth film in Spider-Man history got off to a strong start this weekend. Here’s what went down.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 managed to survive horrid reviews from critics and fans alike to score an impressive $92 million in its opening weekend. While its a far cry from the over $100 million weekends the first and third films scored, its significantly higher than the Amazing Spider-Man’s 2012 three-day total of roughly $72 million (keep in mind, that film was released in the middle of the week, mind you).

Ah, who am I kidding?

I’m like the dad in The Lego Movie. Sure, I let my kid play with the mini-figures (she can’t break those), but things like the Escape Pod, the Desert skiff and Jabba’s Palace are all out of arm’s reach. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re not going to play with that stuff together someday. We’re just waiting until she’s a little older.
